Niger has one of the highest fertility rates in the world— about 7 children per woman (The World Bank 2020). The Government of Niger is committed to increasing access to contraception for the people of Niger—to accelerate contraceptive prevalence to 50% by 2020 (Family Planning 2020). Pathfinder and its partners have teamed up with the Government of Niger to help achieve this goal. IMPACT 2 strengthens national, regional, and district health systems to sustainably deliver quality contraceptive services to adolescents and women in Niger’s Dosso, Zinder, and Tahoua regions.
